Lutembacher’s Syndrome: A Case Report from Hospital IBN Rochd of Casablanca, Morocco

Lutembacher syndrome (LS) is a rare clinical entity, associated with acquired mitral stenosis (MS), congenital atrial septal defect (ASD). In the literature, other forms have been described including iatrogenic LS and reverse LS. LS is a condition with a female predominance, and, over-diagnosed, is badly suffering, making its particularity. The prognosis for this syndrome is best before the onset of pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure. LS is usually treated surgically by mitral valve surgery with concomitant closure of the atrial septal defect. We report in this case report, the observation of a 62-year-old woman consulting for dyspnea evolving for about a year, in a context of physical asthenia. Cardiac ultrasound led to the diagnosis of this rare clinical syndrome. The patient was referred for mitral valve replacement with ASD closure.
